Disclaimer: Why do I bother repeating myself? I do not own Naruto...or the Exorcism.

Author's Note: Yay! This brings the official end to the intro chapters! There's quite a bit of OOCness in this chapter. I have also gave humor a shot. Well all I can say enjoy this chapter and review! Oh, before I forget, here's a cookie to everyone who reviewed -hands out cookies-


Damn, why does Hinata have to be so cute? Screw that, why does Neji-teme have to be so over-protective? Goddamn it…thought Naruto.

Flashback

"Is that girl your cousin," asked Naruto curiously.

"Hn."

"Your name's Neji right," Naruto tried again.

"Hn."

"Do you know how to say anything besides 'Hn'," Naruto prodded, clearly annoyed.

If you paid really close attention, you would have noticed that Neji's eye was ever, very slightly twitching. That idiot Naruto really didn't know when to shut up.

"Okay," Naruto continued conversationally, "Anyways, you've got one hell of a cute cousin Neji. Hinata's way sexy and… Neji, what's the matter all I said was-"

"Don't you dare lay a finger on Hinata-nee-san," Neji hissed menacingly, "Or I'll make sure I break all the bones in your body."

By now, there was a vein popping above Neji's eyebrow and his fingers were clenched in a tight fist. His arms were slightly outstretched as if ready to punch the shit out of Naruto. Unfortunately for Lee, he chose this time to rise from unconsciousness.

"Hey, what happened-?" managed Lee before his head hit Neji's outstretched fist and got knocked out cold again.

"Yo, Neji, what the hell is your problem," Naruto asked, getting a bit pissed off, "All I said was-"

Naruto stopped mid-sentence due to the presence of Neji's death aura. Be damned if that aura was not as powerful as the Devil's. Naruto had expected to witness a 360 degrees rotation of Neji's head (as seen in the Exorcism).

"Meep! I'll just go now," Naruto squeaked before running out the door.

End of flashback

Now he was standing at the bottom of the staircase, listening to Hinata say that she liked him, but he can't go even within two feet of her without pissing her cousin off. Naruto thought that the world was unfairly screwed up.

Damn Neji. I don't give a shit if he doesn't approve. He's not the boss of me, thought Naruto.


"Forehead girl," Ino called lazily, "I'm all done unpacking."

"So am I, Ino-pig," retorted Sakura.

"Wanna go visit Hinata-chan," Ino piped up.

"Sure," Sakura replied, "Let's explore the dorm while we're at it."

Ino jumped off her futon and headed towards the door. Sakura followed her out into the hall. They were about to turn around the corner to Hinata's room when Sakura spotted a certain raven haired boy.

"Hey, Sasuke-kun," cooed Sakura.

Sasuke turned around as if expecting his utmost demise. To him, seeing Sakura, well any fan girl, batting her eyelashes to him was pretty close to his utmost demise. His first instinct was to run away like all the other times. But since it was his first day here, he thought he'd try to give a good impression.

"Uh," tried Sasuke, "Do I know you?"

"Of course you do, silly," Sakura purred, "I'm Sakura, remember, I'm on your team."

"Uh, right," Sasuke took a deep breath in, "I think I've told you not to try and seduce me. Next time I will not be as kind. Take this as a warning and do not talk to me unless it does not involve any implications of intimacy."

Sakura, who was fairly smart, got the message the Uchiha sent. Ino, being less bright, did not understand any of the big words like 'intimacy'. But seeing the way Sakura looked shot down, Ino had an idea of what the Uchiha had said.

"Of course, Uchiha-san," Sakura whispered, "Forgive me, I've forgotten my place. Gomen…"

Sasuke nodded curtly before continuing down the hall. He was mildly surprised that she didn't insist on chasing him like the others. Sakura had earned a bit more respect from the passive Uchiha.

"Even though he's a total hottie," Ino commented rather distastefully, "He sure has one hell of an attitude. Are you okay Sakura?"

"Yeah I'm fine," Sakura replied, "I've been chasing him forever and I'm used to his cold behaviour."

"Yeah," Ino said, "C'mon, let's go find Hinata."

They knocked on Hinata's door but no one answered so Sakura deduced that she had went to find Tenten. She signalled for Ino to follow her as she turned around and headed back.


"Arf, arf," barked Akamaru.

"Can you please tell your dog to be quiet," Shino mumbled, "It's disturbing the peace."

"Sorry Shino," Kiba grinned, "Can't help it. Akamaru is excited."

"…"

"Shino?"

"…"

"Augh! Fleas! Akamaru has them too," Kiba complained, "They're driving me crazy! It's goddamn itchy. How did all these fleas appear all of a sudden? They're really bugging…Shino!"

Shino sat back and watched Kiba prance around the room. His only regret is that he didn't have a video camera with him. This would have definitely made Konoha's Funniest Home Videos. Hell, he might've even been able to sell a few copies on eBay and make some money. Serves Kiba right for disturbing the peace. Shino smirked and left the room.


Chouji and Shikamaru were catching up on old times. Their fathers, along with Ino's, have been best friends. It seems like Chouji still likes to eat his chips, barbeque still being his favourite, and Shikamaru being the same lazy smart-ass.

"So how's Ino," Chouji asked between handfuls of chips.

"Troublesome as always," Shikamaru said, "She brought one of her friends a week or so ago and demanded for my IQ test results. Tch…troublesome woman…"

"Looks to me like Ino-chan's got a thing for you," snickered Chouji.

Shikamaru choked, "Chouji, you're kidding, right? Ino? The superficial Ino likes me? That's funny…"

"Actually I was being serious," Chouji informed him.

Shikamaru started laughing. Chouji gave him the 'did-I-say-something-wrong' look but he didn't notice. He was too busy laughing at Chouji's odd perception on this matter. Chouji was so very dumb-founded. Shikamaru was having one of his 'only-smart-guys-find-it-funny' moments. So Chouji went back to eating his chips.

"We better go meet that teacher in the main hall now," Chouji said between mouthfuls.

"Yeah," replied Shikamaru, "Tch, how troublesome…"


Everyone was in the main hall now. Tenten, Hinata, Sakura and Ino were in a corner talking. Actually, Ino and Sakura were talking, Tenten and Hinata only pretended to listen; they had their attentions focused on something else. Neji was meditating on the stairs and Sasuke, who sat a few steps up from Neji, was brooding. Naruto was laughing his ass off at the prancing dog and his master. Shino was beside him looking amused. Lee was making a random speech about the springtime of youth. Shikamaru was slightly dozing off and Chouji was munching on his chips.

In a puff of smoke, a man appeared, "Okay people, you're expected to be in class tomorrow at nine o'clock sharp. I'll leave your schedules right here. Don't be late."

With that he disappeared and the students gathered around where he had left the schedules. For their convenience they had their names printed on their schedules. Three were coloured blue for the Chuunin and the rest were coloured green. Each of them picked up their respective schedules and left to their dorm rooms.


Author's Note: Hm, I'm actually speechless about this chapter. It wasn't bad but not very super either. I could use some ideas on what I should make happen to our favourite ninjas. The next chapter will not be an intro anymore. Here's sneak preview:

8:15 a.m. - Chuunin Quarters

Beep! Beep! Beep! Bee-CRASH!

Tenten yawned and surveyed the damage she had done. She noticed the pieces of her broken alarm clock scattered near the door. Suddenly, there was a knock at her door. Tenten wondered who would be knocking this early.

Well, what do you think? Reviews please!
